Description
This product is a mutanase preparation derived from Trichoderma sp. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1,3 Glucan(Mutan), which is main substance of dental plaque.
Abbr
Mutanase, Native (Trichoderma sp.)
Applications
1.Conventional dental care products(tooth paste, antiseptic mouthwash, etc.) contain Dextranase (α-1,6 Glucanase). So, dextran can be easily decomposed by conventional dental care products.
2.However, mutan, the main structure of dental plaque which is water-insoluble, can not be decomposed by dextranase and remains in the mouth.
3.Mutanase can decompose dental plaque mutan. So, it can be applied to dental care products.
